The Upper Inn Valley

Ladis rests on the western slopes of the Upper Inn Valley, at a height of nearly 1200m, on what the locals call the ‘sunshine terrace’, a broad expanse of meadows rising slowly southwest through the neighbouring villages of Fiss and Serfaus.

A network of footpaths and cable cars helps us explore this perfect alpine area, taking us through meadows, scattered woodland and beside mountain streams, along ridges and pano ramic paths, even to peaks. The views are often amazing, especially of the permanent snows to the south and east of the Ortler and Oetztal Alps. It is hard to think of another area which offers such varied walking at different grades.

Ladis itself is a quiet Tirolean alpine village with an old fish pond, woodrimmed public fountains, outdoor baking ovens and a 13th century castle standing guard. An Alpine idyll.

Accommodation

The four-star Hotel Goies on the outskirts of the village is perfectly in keeping with the charm of the whole area, and you are unlikely to meet a more delightful hostess than Frau Larcher who has looked after us for many years.Please note that twin rooms contain ’Austrian-type’ beds, with one bed frame and two individual bed packs.

Upgrades to either a deluxe double room or a hotel suite are available (double occupancy only). The hotel is regularly rated by our staff and clients as one of the best in our programme.

Breakfast and evening meals for the whole party will be at the Hotel Goies, where you will enjoy a five-course buffet dinner each evening. The food is good enough to rival that served in many top restaurants.

To get an overview of the look and feel of the Hotel Goies and get an idea of some of its facilities, take a look at its website (unfortunately only currently available in German!)

Service: First Austrian walking hol. Great intro in the Inn valley. Guide very good, knew the area well, good english and well known locally. Very approachable and sociable. Holiday: good variety of walk and standard appropriate with just the right amount of personal challenge.

Service:Holiday:

Service: Have enjoyed RWH for many years. Excellent Leaders, very good choice of mountain walking locations plus good accommodation and efficient, helpful Reservation people. Holiday: For several years, I have enjoyed a 14 day holiday here. Very good location for mountain walking together with a very comfortable hotel experience. And, importantly, excellent Leaders. I hope this holiday will continue to be offered.

Service:Holiday:

Service: I've selected Ramblers Worldwide on several occasions and will continue to do so. The information is accurate, the service efficient and the choice is wide. I'm enjoying the more vigorous walking challenges at present but in ten years time I shall have more leisurely walking to look forward to. Holiday: This holiday surpassed all expectations - great venue, fabulous hotel and two enthusiastic leaders in Julian & Ursula. I suppose it was more expensive than some other Alpine venues but well worth the extra cost. Shame to stop this holiday - just glad I got in before the decision was taken.

Service:Holiday:

Service: Always interesting places and good leaders Holiday: Excellent hotel, excellent leaders and a wonderful area for mountain walking. Would recommend it strongly to friends but sad to find that Ramblers aren't running this holiday in future. We believe the holiday was under-promoted; the brochure description hardly did it justice

Service:Holiday:

Service: Helpful staff with good information about the holiday Holiday: good walking in the area but a bit repetitive scenery (albeit enjoyable). Very good hotel and food, with excellent facilities. Surprised it is not included in the 2015 brochure.

Service: Not happy with the fact that single men always seem to be given the worst rooms in the hotels i.e., the rooms with poor views and usually at the back of the hotels. This happens even though we have paid the single room supplement. Holiday: Though she is a nice person, our leader Ursula is too disorganised and really doesn't listen to what the walkers want to do.
